Short byteValue() method in Java with Example

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025
The java.lang.Short.byteValue() method of Short class is a built in method in Java which is used to return the value of the Short object as a byte. Syntax 
ShortObject.byteValue()
Return Value: It return the value of ShortObject as byte. Below is the implementation of byteValue() method in Java: Example 1: Java 
// Java code to demonstrate
// Short byteValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Short value
        Short a = 17;

        // wrapping the Short value
        // in the wrapper class Short
        Short b = new Short(a);

        // byteValue of the Short Object
        byte output = b.byteValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Byte value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}
Output: 
Byte value of 17 is : 17
Example 2: Java 
// Java code to demonstrate
// Short byteValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        String value = "17";

        // wrapping the Short value
        // in the wrapper class Short
        Short b = new Short(value);

        // byteValue of the Short Object
        byte output = b.byteValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Byte value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}
Output: 
Byte value of 17 is : 17
